That’s what tends to happen to Tsunderes in real life.
They make a wonderful female love interest in serial fiction, because you can just keep the romantic tension going without resolution indefinitely. Great if you’re a manga author hoping for a long-running series.
In real life, there’s a threshold very quickly reached where the guy goes “Mmmkay. I admit you’re very attractive, but also consistently horrible to be around. I’m going to try and find a girlfriend who will be nice to me at least SOME of the time. Bye now. Please erase my contact info.”

Timothy was manifestly not oblivious. Timothy just gave Castela a great big “fuck you.” He was right to walk away, but it’s pretty damned cold to walk away without a backwards glance or a “Later, Castela.”

Despite the way Castela’s been acting, its still pretty shitty of him to just leave without a backwards glance. When I’ve gone out with friends to… you know… hang out without any romantic implications whether i was interested in them or not, I don’t expect them to just buzz off at first opportunity.

I actually had someone do that, she and I were out and about spending time together and one of her friends (not mine) showed up and she goes “Yeah I’m not busy lets go get lunch” and walked away leaving me in the middle of downtown by myself. Luckily for me, i was the driver so i went home. Got a call about an hour later from her bitching that I’d left her downtown. We weren’t friends for too long after that (and there went any want i ever had for dating her either)

This. So very this. I regret Paul’s comments system doesn’t give me the option to upvote your post.

I had that happen to me too. I went to a company christmas party with a friend, yes I was interested in her, and she jammed off with a few friends while I was still eating dinner. I wasn’t the driver but I found friends I wanted to hang out with at the bar and *she* had to come looking for *me*.

No, he is letting her know that she does not own him, but if she had said it was a date then he would have staid with her, remember, for what ever reason, he has always liked her, from the time they first met, even if she only started paying attention within the last couple months

A: Behaved violently toward someone who, though a bit overzealous, showed genuine appreciation for Timothy’s costume, (though, as I commented a few days ago she could have been honestly trying to defend him from what she perceived was unwanted attention)

B: Almost immediately afterward spoke rudely to someone else who was also complimenting him on his costume

C: Crawled down his throat just because he didn’t have an instant answer to a question that might require a little thought.

All while insisting they weren’t on a date.

He might have brushed her off a little callously, but she’s given him every reason to think he’ll have more fun eating bento boxes with Scarlet than he will if he keeps hanging out with Castella.
